Kensei is too OP!! | Forums

[Masterhenry313]

This guy needs a nerf pls. Hes got huge range! Quick light chain thats almost unblockable, heavies damage is huge, huge side dodge counter! Hes pretty much unbeatable! Too fukin OP! UBISOFT U GUYS HAVE GOT TO NERF THIS F GUY PLS!

[FixWardenLights]

I don't know maybe it's not too hard for high skilled players to counter him, but as Rep 11 Warden I have a very, very hard time fighting this guy. Well, I can say I am bad against fast light chains overall (although I can say I can block 1st or 3rd light in Orochi bot's chain, but when it comes to actual fight, it's way harder), but Kensei has them on top of his other strong points you mentioned.

[Sanguinius-IX-]

You're right Kensei is very strong, but I don't think they'll give it a Nerf the developers love Kensei very much.
In my opinion it would be fairer to give a Buff to all the other heroes who need it in order to balance the game.

Kensei is not OP. He is strong, and may be really annoying to fight against.

His dodge attack is a heavy parry. It's not that rewarding to parry it.

I would suggest to remove his light chain. And make it like LBs. That after a light he must commit to heavy.

Still - he is far from OP.

So you agree that he should be nerfed.

Masterhenry313, I totally agree with you.
In face, I just wrote a post about it too.

Nope. It's always a better idea to buff other characters.

Kensei is "ok".

Kensei is easy to learn and easy to master. So.. he should be changed a little.

So it's a best idea to buff all of the other characters other then nerfing a single character?
And let's be honest I'm not expecting Ubi to actually nerf him, let alone buff all the other heroes.
And IMO I think that it's better to have weaker heroes and make the game to be more about planning your moves other than have insanely fast attacks with good damage because it ruins the game.
If each character will be like kensei it will come down to who starts the light spam first and who start the dodge attack later.

And you suggested to make him weaker by limiting his light spam, this is why I thought you agreed that he should be nerfed.

The main point of the CCU - make things unreactable. Make it more like fighting games.

Before CCU (on PC, consoles were a ****show much more earlier) almost every fight was a stare festival.

Still, yesterday I played breach (I play on ps4) and encountered a party of 2 Orochis and a Valk. It was really cancerous to fight against them. Lightspam. Lightspam everywhere. And yeah
It was frustrating and not fun.

I do believe that separate balancing for consoles and PC is a good solution.

About Kensei: I hate all light-light-light combos. I cant deal with them. So I do want them to be removed for everybody.
